The Kingdon of Tycho

I do not remember when I first saw the movie The Mouse on the Moon but I guess that I was about 10 or 11 years of age when I first saw it. And it is a movie that I enjoy watching even to this day. For those of you who don’t know, and haven’t followed the link to IMDB.com, the movie is a 1960’s English made comedy about how The Tiny Country of Grand Fenwick(a Micronation) beats both the USA and USSR in the race to the moon.

The movie The Mouse on the Moon inspired me as a boy and as a man I followed the two aspects of micronationality and Space Travel in Founding The Kingdom of Tycho.

In another cosmic coincidence Leonard Wibberley, who wrote the novel the movie is baised on, and I also share the same birth place of Dublin, Ireland.

Here is an article I came across on the Universe Today websit considering the hazards and construction techniques for building a Moon base.

In order to add our support for the Google Lunar X-Prize the Sovereign has issued a proclamation automatically giving all participating teams in the Google Lunar X-Prize a survey license to allow them to work legally within the territory of The Kingdom of Tycho. Such licenses are needed under a previous proclamation and teams participating in the Google Lunar X-Prize might not have realized that such licenses are needed.
